Chapter 60 Chapter 60: The Dream of the Ancient City

In the misty rain, Gu Yueming held the Chu box in his hand and returned to the city gate square. After passing the white dew on the ground, he had no interest in taking a glance, his heart had long since died.Wan Jian is still carried on his back, just to end his remaining life. If the Chu box can be opened, he will take out the Xiangguo, divide it into two parts, let Wu Zixu and Wu Shuangnv eat it, and see if the Xiangguo is really a fairy fruit worthy of the name, but it is a pity that there is no lock and seamless Chu box, He didn't know where to start.And Wu Zixu, who is best at cracking clever locks, has lost the chance to try.

How he wished that the memories of his previous life could flow back into his mind like Ge Mo, then he would know the secret method of opening the box. In the endless rain and fog, the ruined ancient city was transformed into a blurred world, like a dream that would never wake up, life and death, joys and sorrows, have become insignificant things, lost their due meaning in reality . Wu Zixu and Wushuangnv, who were supposed to be lying on the square, disappeared without a trace. Gu Yueming didn't think anything different, his feelings had already been numb, and nothing could make his emotions fluctuate.Holding the torch, he walked towards the square towards the other side of the city gate. In the light of the fire, a doorway appeared in front of him, and the voice of Wushuang woman came: "We are here!"

Gu Yueming's brain seemed to be struck by lightning, and after a violent shock, it became active, and hurried to rush, Wu Shuangnu and Wu Zixu sat next to the wall in the narrow and long doorway. Xue Tinghao's voice seemed to ring in his eardrums. "At the bottom of the mountain city, we found a passage with a complete copper door at the end. Inside the door is a vast space with a depth of five feet. It should have been expanded by digging out the stone layer at the bottom of the mountain city." It was in the stone room behind the bronze gate that Fu Meng and others found the legendary Chu box.

Gu Yueming stuck the torch on the ground outside the doorway, and squatted down in front of the two. To his surprise, Wushuang Nu's face was only a little pale, but her eyes were still bright and firm. Wu Zixu's condition was much worse, his blood faded away, and his skin turned a terrible indigo color. Not only did he lose serious blood, but he was also extremely poisoned.The small crossbow still remained on his left chest, and the exposed arrow shaft was shocking. Although the blood stopped flowing, the blood that had flowed out stained his clothes red. He was still breathing, his chest was rising and falling slightly, and his eyes were closed tightly. Even if he had no experience with Gu Yueming, he knew that he had no way to return his soul, and Da Luo Jinxian couldn't save his dying life.In fact, it was a miracle that he could survive until now.

Wushuang sobbed: "He's not going to make it! He just woke up and asked me if you're back. He cares about you the most." Gu Yueming's vision blurred, and tears burst out of his eyes uncontrollably. At this moment, he was willing to pay any price in exchange for Wu Zixu's life. Remembering that Wu Zixu said that he was afraid of death, it made him heartbroken and grief-stricken. "Goddess of Yunmeng" Oh!Had she summoned him to the ancient city to destroy him?Her real enemy should be me, Gu Yueming, not him. "Kill him?" Gu Yueming looked at Wushuangnv, regained consciousness a little, and said, "Kill it! What do you think?"

Wu Shuang said fiercely: "He ruined my family, I will not let him kill me. Fortunately, the poisonous arrow shot into my leg. I took out the dagger and took out the poisonous arrow with the belt while he was busy dealing with you. I cut out the meat, applied a detoxifying medicine, and after it was bandaged, I saw Wu Zixu was desperately crawling towards this passage, so I had to chase him in and help him sit up, and I had no strength left." Wushuang closed her eyes and shed bitter tears, she murmured: "Heaven has eyes! You finally killed him." Gu Yueming didn't know whether it was joy or sadness, but he knew that he had lost the strength to cheer up, a kind of fatigue and frustration welled up from the bottom of his heart, spreading all over his body, no matter what he did, it seemed that there was no real meaning at all.

Wushuang said: "Why don't you dodge, you should be able to do it." Then she said in a barely audible voice: "Is it because I am behind you?" Gu Yueming stared at her blankly, choked up and said, "Shuangshuang!" Wushuang girl opened her beautiful eyes and said sadly: "You two are fools, you defended me against arrows, and he took arrows for you, what kind of injustice is this?" And softly said: "Father is inside, have you seen it?" Gu Yueming felt that doing anything at this moment, including thinking about things, would take more effort than usual, so he looked into the corridor in a daze, and at the edge of the area illuminated by the fire, he saw a person prostrate on the ground, apparently Fu Meng's remains were buried Gomo moved there.

Gu Yueming was dizzy for a while, knowing that she was too physically exhausted and sad, so she naturally crawled to the other side of Wu Zixu and lay down next to the wall. The breathing of the three people sounded one after another in the corridor. The voice of Wushuang woman came over and said: "Gu Yueming! Are you injured?" Gu Yueming said: "I'm not hurt, but very tired." Wu Shuang sighed: "I am also very tired, I hope I can just fall asleep like this, and never have to wake up." Gu Yueming thought to himself that this might be their most ideal ending, he really didn't want to live, but just as he thought about it, he became confused.

Qiu Jiushi held a torch and led the way along a pool of water, but suddenly stopped. Baichun, who was following him, stopped with him, and was about to ask him, but Qiu Jiushi made a gesture not to speak. Ruan Xiuzhen and Ji Shan who were behind thought they had spotted the enemy, so they moved forward quickly, but they stopped in shock after seeing them, and their hearts shuddered. On the other side of the pool more than 20 feet away from them, there were more than 30 wild wolves gathered, sitting or standing, staring at them. Under the light of the torch, their eyes were green and gleaming, terrifying.

Baichun tremblingly said: "What should I do?" Ji Shan said: "We can take a detour." Seeing that they were not attacking, Qiu Jiushi felt relieved, and said in a low voice, "This is the only way, let's go back first." The four of them tried to move back, and the sitting wolves in the wolf pack immediately stood up, their spines erected, and their throats were whistling, while the standing wolves moved towards them with a look of aggressiveness. The ferocious gesture of fluttering. The four of them stopped moving backwards at the same time. To their surprise, the pack of wolves regained their composure, and those who stood up sat back on the grass.

Ji Shan lost his voice: "What's going on?" Qiu Jiushi also said: "It's unreasonable. They didn't attack us maybe because they were fed early, but we didn't walk towards them, but left!" Baichun tremblingly said: "Maybe they don't allow the four of us to leave, and they don't speak until they have enough rest." Ji Shan said in a deep voice: "How many wild wolves can the Ninth Division be sure to deal with?" Qiu Jiushi smiled bitterly and said: "Although I have never fought against them, I should be able to deal with them. The problem is that under such circumstances, I will not be able to protect Baichun and Cultivation. This is absolutely not suitable for fighting with wild animals." A place where wolves fight fiercely." Ji Shan said: "How about we try to move on?" Qiu Jiushi said: "You stay here!" After saying that, he took a step forward. The two wolves stood up again, Qiu Jiushi was so frightened that he shrank his feet quickly, and the wolves sat down again. Qiu Jiushi said helplessly: "I think Baichun's conjecture is the most reasonable. This battle is inevitable. Why don't you speak out?" Ruan Xiuzhen said, "I'm observing." Ji Shan was puzzled and said, "Mr. Ruan sees the truth?" Ruan Xiuzhen said, "I'm observing them to see if they are in a normal state, or if they are being manipulated by a certain force that dominates Yunmengze." Qiu Jiushi understood, and said, "Is it really so mysterious?" Ruan Xiuzhen calmly said: "It's so mysterious. We are still in the game, and the mystery of this game is about to be revealed, but the time has not yet come, we have to wait for a while. Do you understand? Sit down, we must recharge our batteries, To deal with any mutation." Gu Yueming woke up and turned around.Dawn came in from the entrance of the doorway. It turned out that it was already dawn when I closed my eyes. I was confused for a while, forgetting why I was in such a strange environment, and then remembered the situation before falling asleep, and opened my eyes suddenly. With both eyes, he looked at Wu Zixu who was lying beside him. Wu Zixu rubbed his eyes. Gu Yueming said in shock: "Are you okay?" Wu Zi turned his head to look at him as if nothing had happened, his eyes flashed strangely, and he asked in confusion, "What's the matter with me?" Then he trembled violently, and looked at his chest, he was so surprised that he opened his mouth wide but couldn't say anything. Come on. Gu Yueming also stared blankly at his chest, not only the crossbow arrows were gone, but there was no trace of a drop of blood on his clothes. The Wushuang girl who was lying on the other side of Wu Zixu disappeared and went to nowhere. Wu Zixu looked at Gu Yueming, and said in amazement: "Didn't I get shot by Gemo's crossbow arrow? Was it Goddess Yunmeng's immortal spell who saved me?" Gu Yueming looked around and said, "You know more about ancient objects than I do. Tell me, does this look like an ancient city that has been smoked by fire?" Wu Zixu stretched out his hand to stroke the wall behind him, and moaned, "My mother! You are right! This is not an ancient city at all, but a new city that has just been built." Gu Yueming was speechless. Wu Zixu glanced at the doorway, then immediately looked away, resting his head on the wall, panting, "The city gate is still there! The city gate is still there! Alas! Old Gu! Look at that city gate." Gu Yueming looked towards the doorway numbly, and what he saw was the complete city gate. The city walls on both sides stretched from it to the left and right like wings. This scene hit Gu Yueming's head like a lightning bolt, leaving only a piece of his head. Blank, lost the ability to think. Wu Zixu panted, "Very evil! Isn't it?" Gu Yueming didn't dare to look any more. He leaned his head against the wall, fixed his eyes on the brand new stone wall opposite, nodded and said, "We may have been sent back to Zhuan City more than a thousand years ago by the goddess. The Chu box is also gone." Wu Zixu said excitedly: "Yes! Nothing has changed. The real us are still lying in a doorway in the ruins of an ancient city after thousands of years. She sent our souls back to the previous life. Now we are dreaming together, and in this past life dream, we will find the answer." Thinking of waking up and facing the unacceptably terrible reality again, Gu Yueming was in a bad mood, and said dejectedly, "What answer?" Wu Zixu said: "The answer you are looking for is what kind of words Shuangshuang said in this life that you will never forget; my answer is to understand why Goddess Yunmeng wanted to kill me?" Gu Yueming's heart moved, and he looked towards him. Wu Zixu completely recovered his vitality and fighting spirit, and said happily: "You understand! To us, death is of course terrible, but to her, it may be a completely different matter. She summoned us to the ancient city to solve the problem. The grievances of past lives that have been entangled for 1,500 years. Now that the time has come, how about we take action?" Before the words were over, the sound of thousands of troops shouting to kill came from outside the city. In the rain and fog all over the sky, Mr. Feng stood on the love sacrifice stone, gazing at Yunmengze on the other side.The banks of the Endless River were illuminated by hundreds of thousands of torches as bright as day, and the soldiers crossed the river from four temporary pontoon bridges.His troops continued to come from the warships that docked on the Xiangshui River, and the scene was spectacular. Four confidants and generals were by his side, including Yue Qi who held an umbrella for him to protect him from the rain.Han Kaijia, on the other hand, stood behind him respectfully and fearfully, and reported to Ji Nieti about the pursuit of Wudun Pirates, Qiu Jiushi and others.What Han Kaijia said is basically the truth, but he avoids the serious and ignores the trivial, trying his best to excuse Ji Nieti and put the responsibility on Gu Yueming. Eunuch Feng didn't want to listen at all, what he was thinking about was the scene when Zhuancheng was attacked by the army of Chu State, probably because of the majesty and power in front of him, the desire for Chu He was getting stronger and stronger. Whoever betrayed him and who was loyal to him didn't care about him. Now only Chu He could tempt him, and everything else was irrelevant. It wasn't until Han Kaijia said that Mo Liang could track Wudun Pirates with his god-catching fans, and Wudun Pirates were the key figures in whether he could find the ancient city, he was suddenly moved, turned around like a whirlwind, and said to Han Kaijia: "You immediately Lead two hundred brothers to protect Mo Liang, and let him start from the opposite bank of the Sacrificial Love Stone and search eastward. If he finds Wudun Pirates or Gu Yueming, he will report to me with fireworks and rockets, but he must never hurt anyone. They are only allowed to besieged heavily. Do you understand?" Han Kaijia wiped his cold sweat secretly, knowing that his life was saved for the time being, he quickly received the order loudly, and went down to carry out the task. Eunuch Feng's eyes were shining brightly, he pondered for a moment, then suddenly he looked up to the sky and laughed. Yue Qi and the others didn't understand what was so funny, but since the one who laughed was Eunuch Feng, the four of them could only listen respectfully. Eunuch Feng stopped laughing and sighed: "This is called God helping me. This kid Yueming is quite good, he has lived up to my expectations of him, even Nie Ti can't beat him." The four of them seemed to understand clearly, but of course no one dared to ask clearly. Eunuch Feng's eyes fell on Yue Qi, and he said happily: "Invite my wife here immediately, and ask her to wear more clothes to avoid the cold. After she arrives, it's time for us to cross the river." Wushuang opened her beautiful eyes.The doorway, the dying Wu Zixu, Gu Yueming and Chu He all disappeared, and the magnificent and vast Heyuan scenery unfolded in front of her eyes. She stood on the top of the ancient city, overlooking the infinitely stretching land from the city wall. The Endless River stretches across the plain five miles away, the bright moon hangs alone at the edge of the earth, the halo of the moon is dotted with stars, the sky and the earth are merged by the moonlight, and there is no distinction between them. Wushuang's heart trembled, knowing that she was sent to the illusion by Yunmeng Goddess again, and this time was different from the past, more clearly and unambiguously. Her heart was filled with an endless tranquility, but beneath the tranquility were surging and intense emotions, feeling like clear water that was being burned by a raging fire but would never boil. She didn't understand this contradictory emotion, she didn't understand herself. Suddenly she seemed to feel something, and looked to the side.Goddess Yunmeng appeared in front of her eyes, looking at the endless river from a bird's eye view like her, her jewel-like eyes looked affectionately and intently, her hair fluttered and danced with the mountain wind, like a glittering golden cloud that never changes.Her pretty face is as crystal clear as jade, and a dazzling blue light blooms from the deep inside, reflecting each other with the bright moon on the horizon.She put on a snow-white neon dress that seemed to be woven from feathers, flowing with an indescribable color light, which Wushuang could not see for sure. The Wushuang girl blurted out a little out of control and asked, "What is the purpose of all this?" A heavenly and moving woman's voice sounded in Wushuang's eardrums: "Every life, every journey, has its own mission and purpose, but we don't understand it, so we will be frustrated by failure and weep for death. The world you are in is just a form of life. Beyond this form, there are countless life forms waiting for you to experience and taste. As long as you can truly grasp the meaning of my words, wandering The problems in your mind can be solved one by one." Goddess Yunmeng's fragrant lips did not move for a moment, but her voice was sent to Wushuangnv's ears without any mistakes, it was extremely miraculous.However, Wushuangnv was no longer surprised by the strangeness, she didn't think it was different at all. For Yunmeng Goddess's words, Wushuang seemed to be very clear, unable to digest and grasp for a while, but for some reason, she felt a lot more comfortable. Wushuang girl had the urge to cry bitterly, and that inexplicable sadness was dominating her, sobbing: "You want me to come here, why? Since everything is determined by fate, what's the point of being a human being? " The voice of Goddess Yunmeng seemed to come from the deepest part of her heart, saying: "Of course fate is not as you guessed, and there is no need to speculate. One day you will be confined to life and death, and any effort will only waste your energy. Drive It's not me that you came here, but the love hidden in your heart, and soon you will understand what I said, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don't miss it! Don't miss it!" The volume of her last two words became louder, turning into a loud noise that shook the world, echoing in the vast space on the top of the mountain. The brightness of the bright moon increased sharply, just like the sunset at dusk, the hillside was shrouded in strange moonlight, and the earth stretched endlessly in all directions of the mountain city. Wushuang felt that she was spinning, and the stars in the night sky seemed to come down from the sky, dancing around her, playing a great silent movement. Her heart was filled with a feeling she had never had before, like a deep love, that kind of love has no boundaries, infinitely expanded the world of her heart, and there is a deeper and wider love hidden under the love, love makes everything They have all become perfect, and there is no regret in life. For a moment she forgot all the people and things that bothered her, as if they never existed.She is the only one left in the world, pure and eternal.
